Abstract excerpt
Colicin M inhibits murein biosynthesis by interfering with bactoprenyl phosphate carrier regeneration. It belongs to the group B colicins the uptake of which through the outer membrane depends on the TonB, ExbB and ExbD proteins. These colicins contain a sequence, called the TonB box, which has been implicated in transport via TonB. Point mutations were introduced by PCR into the TonB box of the structural gene...
